Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 227: Time left

"I can get the doctor just to make sure." Wei Jiayi offered, watching Gao Lan Mei. She was sitting next to a table not far from him while folding papers to make cranes.

There were already so many around her, making Wei Jiayi wonder what they were for. Paper cranes with different colors were already scattered in the room that was mostly on the floor.

Gao Lan Mei does not show any signs of stopping soon since she just recently asked a guard to bring her a lot more.

"What are these for? What about your rest?" Wei Jiayi said after a deep breath.

"I will rest eventually." She answered not lifting her head while she continues to fold papers.

"Mei Mei, don't act like you are fine"

Gao Lan Mei finally decided to look at Wei Jiayi, "Do you think, I know how to act?" she asked seriously than on a soft tone, "Are you not aware of the one thousand wish cranes?" She questioned.

"What is that?" Wei Jiayi asked with interest.

Instead of answering, "I really do not want to be disturbed right now." She dismissed before returning her gaze to the papers in front of her.

Gao Lan Mei had a lot of wish that she hopes to come true very soon. So how many more paper cranes she must make for all those to come true.

These past few days had been the most tiring days of her entire existence. 'So this is how it feels to be in the mortal.' she thought to herself not considering the possibility that her circumstances would be unique to everyone else.

Though she was not complaining Gao Lan Mei preferred to be alone just for a little while. Not only she needed to think of a way to revive Feng Ji but also needed to reevaluate the body that she was using now. 

In truth, this idea was ironic for her as Gao Lan Mei never expected that she would want to be left on her own ever after she had arrived at the Mortal Domain.

From her previous life, how many times had she wished to have someone with her?

It was really true that beings were never satisfied.

She wanted to rest, even though the flames from the earlier magical circle had completely healed her.

Gao Lan Mei felt refreshed. Well with the amount of spiritual energy that she gathered recently, she will not be surprised if her cultivation degree leaped up to multiple ranks.

It was just strange that Wei Jiayi did not feel anything different in her. He still treated her like she was vulnerable and needed constant care.

She was still in deep thought when she realized that Wei Jiayi was looming beside her, as his shadow darkened the papers on the table.

Wei Jiayi was standing at the side of the table. He must have done so intentionally to bother her or she was just thinking too much about it.

He then leaned closer to Gao Lan Mei, making her look up at him with narrowing eyes. It was a silent warning telling him to stop his plan, whatever it was.

Wei Jiayi did not stop though as she felt his hands grabbed her by the sides and lifted her up.

"What are you doing?" Gao Lan Mei hissed in annoyance but did not show any signs of aggression.

Wei Jiayi smiled as he picked her up to carry her towards the bed, "I only have a very short time left to touch you" He said when he placed her down on it carefully.

Then while looking at her intently, "You will allow me right?" he whispered softly, more like he was begging.

Gao Lan Mei tilted her head, her expression confused. "You are touching me already. Isn't that enough?" She questioned with a raised brow.

Wei Jiayi only chuckled as he grabbed her hands and carefully massaged them before answering, "It's never enough."

Gao Lan Mei has the urge to badly allow him to do as he pleased which made her confused and concerned. It was a good thing probably that she was not that kind.

After satisfied when massaging her hands, Wei Jiayi placed her on the bed to lay down before he did the same next to her.

Seeing this, Gao Lan Mei hummed and asked, "What are you planning? You can endure one year right?"

Wei Jiayi answered by grunting unhappily, yet no comment about it. It was like he was regretting the bet that he already agreed on and it was clearly written on his whole face while he looked at the room's ceiling.

Not to mention as well the movement on his jaw while he grinds his teeth that confirms that he was not happy at all.

Finding his current attitude entertaining, Gao Lan Mei hand reached out and patted his head, "I know you can do it because you are such a behaving dragon. Aren't you?" She uttered sounding like she trying to pacify Wei Jiayi but in reality, Gao Lan Mei was referring to his dragon side.

Wei Jiayi gaze shifted on her immediately. At the same time, his eyes suddenly flashed its mismatched colors. It was a very quick movement like the dragon was just acknowledging what she said.

Gao Lan Mei's eyes bulge in surprise and her heart started beating fast. Because of this, she immediately retracts the hand that was on Wei Jiayi's head.

She was feeling the familiar feeling of excitement. It was like this every time his predatory side surfaced causing her.

Gao Lan Mei had to make sure as well, that he will not notice her strange reaction to his eyes changing, so she kept her face neutral as much as possible. It was easier said than done though.

"Don't call for it if you don't want to play with it."
